Right. This is about "Personal Data Protection." You tagged it that way. So, taking control of my own, personal data here:

Who are you? Yes, I know you said you were an MBA student. Anybody can say that. (And, speaking as an ancient data security curmudgeon, let me note: MBA? In Cyber Security? Really?) It's common, in these situations, to give just a bit more detail. What school. What program. Who it your thesis advisor. That type of thing. (Which you do give on your landing page, but might have been mentioned here.)

OK, now I have had a chance to read the initial landing age for the survey. I can see that Mr Sorin Pop at Coventry University in the UK is completing this research for the Law and Business School at Coventry. It appears to have had the approval of the university's ethics committee. Having recently faced the parallel approval process in the USA, I note a few shortcomings in the information sheet relative ti the requirements of an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in the USA. However, all appears to be in order, given i am not up on UK requirements.

All that said, I will complete the survey, and recommend others do, also. I know from recent experience how very difficult it is to obtain enough submissions for an online anonymous survey to allow for reasonable statistical validity of the results.

Finally, I applaud an MBA program that offers cybersecurity as one of the available focus areas, supplementing the more traditional areas of finance, logistics, marketing, etc. We really, really need more folks on the business side of the companies who understand the nature of cybersecurity in the business.

As a CISSP I'm bound to the (ISC)2's code of conduct therefore I would not post unsafe links.

The Google Forms has been chosen because it's safe and it does not collect any personal information from the participants, being true to the statement provided on the information page. The short link is being used to count the number of clicks, just to have an idea of the success rate in this community.
